About the Conference
EuroMaintenance is Europe’s biennial event for professionals in maintenance, reliability, and asset management. It brings together academics, practitioners, technology providers, and policy-makers to share innovations, research findings, and industry best practices.
The event addresses real-world challenges such as digital transformation, sustainability, workforce skills, and operational resilience across industries.
Hosted in Luleå, Sweden, this 2026 edition, will combine high-impact technical sessions, industry panels, and visionary keynotes with an immersive experience in Swedish Lapland. Delegates will enjoy unique networking opportunities — including the chance to golf under the midnight sun.
The European Federation of National Maintenance Societies (EFNMS), together with Luleå University of Technology, invite experts from industry, academia, and professional associations to contribute to EuroMaintenance 2026 by organizing dedicated sessions and paper submissions.
